Aphelion’s ‘The Ardent’ Grenache, especially from McLaren Vale, typically presents a captivating bouquet of bright red fruits like raspberry and cherry, intertwined with delicate floral notes of rose petal and a hint of white pepper spice. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied with a juicy acidity that uplifts the vibrant fruit. Expect a silky texture, fine-grained tannins, and a long, clean finish that echoes its fruit and spice character.
